This avoids scraping the gold plating on the cable end, which is the main failure mode in non-ZIF connectors. The flip lock also provides positive retention — no secondary latch needed. ## Right-Angle SMT with Solder Retention The actuator is halogen-free polyamide (PA9T). ## Cable Compatibility and Operating Range The cable end type can be straight or tapered — the ZIF mechanism accommodates both. The contact style is bottom contact, meaning the cable's conductive pads face down toward the PCB.","metaTitle":"F304-1A7H1-11040-E100 — Amphenol ICC (FCI) 0.50mm Pitch","metaDescription":"Amphenol ICC (FCI) Aorora F304 series FFC/FPC connector, 0.50mm pitch, 40 positions, ZIF flip lock, gold contacts, 0.5A, active production.
